Smart air conditioning: consume less energy without suffocating the system
Fortunately, there are very simple ways to keep cool without breaking the bank:
Recent models with an A++ or A+++ energy label consume up to 40% less than older air conditioners.
Choosing the right size unit:
An air conditioner that’s too powerful for a small room will waste energy. Conversely, an undersized model will run continuously. The best compromise? A unit that’s appropriate for the room’s size and insulation.
Set the temperature moderately:
According to Ademe, a temperature of 26°C is perfectly adequate for comfortable sleeping. And be aware: the greater the difference between the outside and inside temperatures (above 7°C), the higher the energy consumption.

These functions allow the device to adjust its power. The result? Less noise and up to 30% energy savings!
What if we also took advantage of natural coolness?
Even before turning on the air conditioning, a few simple actions can make all the difference:
